Private Dance Lessons

Private Dance Lessons

Dr. Casey Bevens is offering instruction in classical ballet "pre-pointe" on a case by case basis.

Pre-pointe work is an essential step in classical ballet training, meant to support the student in transitioning from solely dancing in flat to pointe work. The goals of pre-pointe include particularly strengthening the feet and ankles in preparation for safely moving to pointe shoes. It also prepares the student to adapt to the different feeling of pointe shoes themselves. While there is emphasis in pre-pointe on the feet and ankles, the whole body is involved in preparing the student for more advanced study. Private lesions allow for an individualized assessment and approach to this crucial training.

Dr. Bevens' dance background includes growing up in dance from age 3, with a particular emphasis on classical ballet. By age 17, she was a principal dancer with the Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet. She also danced with the Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre professional division and attended a number of prestigious intensives including with the Joffrey Ballet. She has returned to dance within the last year, following a 16 year hiatus, during which she completed graduate work in psychology, lived abroad (and saw lots of companies perform, owned a business, had a family, and ultimately moved to Billings to join the faculty of Rocky Mountain College.
